OPERATING THE SCOOTER

SEAT POSITIONING

CAUTION
Before operating your scooter, always make sure that the scooter seat is locked in place. Failure to do this can result in serious personal injury as well as damage to the scooter.

• When the red latch is not properly locked in place, it may look like the left image above. When this happens, the scooter seat is not locked in place.
• As a result, if you were to sit in the seat and lean backwards, you and the scooter may tip over, potentially causing serious injury.
• Please ensure that the red latch is flush and parallel to the frame as shown in right image above.
• You are now ready to begin operating your new iliving V8 Mobility Scooter. The V8 Scooter is designed to be very user-friendly. Here are a few quick reminders to keep in mind when operating your scooter:
• When driving the scooter up an incline, be sure to lean forward slightly in the seat. Do not lean backwards in the seat, as this may create an uneven distribution of weight and cause the scooter to suddenly tip over back­wards.
• The iliving scooter is design with every safety precaution in mind. The scooter will automatically reduce the speed when you attempt to make a turn. This will prevent scooter from tipping over when performing abrupt sharp turns.
• When operating the V8 scooter, always be sure to firmly grip the handle­bars with both hands. It is never safe to operate your scooter with only one hand on the handlebars as this can lead to loss of control of your scooter. Steering the scooter requires turning the handlebars to either side.
• You can steer the scooter in any direction while going forward or in reverse.
• It is never safe to operate your scooter while it is raining or snowing. Ad­ditionally, it is not recommended to operate your scooter on any wet or icy surface. Such conditions on the road or ground greatly increase your risk of the scooter wheels losing traction and you losing control of the scooter.
• Powering on your scooter requires turning the key in the ignition. This key is the same key used to lock and unlock the battery rails of your scoter.
• The iliving Scooter 's brakes will engage as soon as you release the speed lever. Familiarize yourself with these regenerative brakes by gently releasing the speed lever. This will help you gauge the rate at which the brakes engage.
• In most states, it is illegal to operate a power mobility scooter on public roads. Always be alert of other motor vehicles and pedestrians on roads, parking lots, and other venues where you may be operating your scooter. Whenever operating your scooter at night, it is your responsibility to wear reflective clothing and/or reflective accessories so that cards, bicy­clists, and pedestrians can quickly and easily see you in the dark. The iliv­ing Scooter features a pair of small headlights and a pair of red taillights. In addition, the iliving Scooter is equipped with brake lights so that others can see when you are stopping. This is particularly useful at night or when operating your scooter in the dark or in low visibility conditions.
• This iliving Scooter is designed only for use on firm, even surfaces, such as concrete, asphalt, hardwood floors, and indoor flooring. Never attempt to operate your scooter on rough terrain, on or through sand, or in loose soil. The scooter wheels need to be able to easily retain traction with the ground - uneven surfaces can damage the scooter's body and axles, which can then cause you to lose control of your scooter.
• When operating your scooter in reverse, constantly check to make sure your path is clear of obstacles.

FREE WHEEL RELEASE SWITCH

• The Freewheel Release Switch is located on the front of your iliving Scooter. It is the red switch besides the front wheel of your scooter. When the switch is perpendicular to the ground, the scooter is in DRIVE mode. To unlock the freewheel release and place the scooter into NEUTRAL mode, simply push the switch forward.
• The purpose of the freewheel release switch is to allow the scooter opera­tor to easily push the scooter forward in the case of a dead battery or uneven terrain.
• When the freewheel release, switch is pushed forward into the NEUTRAL position, it unlocks the wheels when the scooter is not in operation.

• When the freewheel release, switch is locked into DRIVE mode, the scooter's wheels will not move when the scooter is turned off.

  

Setup Guide

To operate, assemble, configure, and pair your i-living Foldable Mobility Scooter V8, follow these steps:

1. Unfold the scooter by lifting the handlebars and ensuring all parts are securely locked into place.
2. Charge the battery according to the manufacturer's instructions.
3. Adjust the seat height to your comfort level.
4. Familiarize yourself with the controls, including the throttle and brakes.
5. Test the scooter in a safe area before using it for regular travel.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

SCOOTER CARE AND MAINTENANCE TIPS

• Your iliving Scooter is designed for long-lasting performance and du­rability. Just like with a car, taking a few simple steps toward routine care and maintenance of your iliving Scooter will ensure its continued performance for a longer period of time.
• Make sure the battery is fully charged, and store in a cool dry place. We recommend storing the battery on the scooter battery rails. From time to time, check to make sure that there is no corrosion on the electrode connections of the battery and the scooter.
• The seat is made from polyurethane - a durable faux leather material. It can be cleaned with any soft, non-abrasive cloth such as a washcloth. If desired, gently dampen the washcloth before cleaning the seat.
• Never wash your iliving Scooter with a water hose or get excessive amounts of water onto the scooter when cleaning the seat. If water gets into the electrical components of the iliving Scooter, it can criti­cally and permanently damage the functionality of the scooter.
• Avoid moisture from coming into contact with the electrical compo­nents of the scooter, including the control panel and battery location.
• The bearings, motor, and transmission of the iliving Scooter have been permanently lubricated and sealed at the factory. No further lubrica­tion of these parts is necessary or ad vis ed.
• When checking on the overall functionality of your iliving Scooter, there are a list of items you might consider reviewing:
  1. Pay attention to whether the brakes are working properly -when you release the accelerator, the iliving Scooter should always come to a complete stop almost immediately.
  2. Make sure that the black switch governing the Freewheel Re­lease works properly. When the switch is pulled back and perpendicu-lar to the ground the scooter is in DRIVE mode. When the switch is pushed forward the scooter is in NEUTRAL mode.
  3. Always make sure the battery compartment of the scooter is closed before operating the scooter.

ACCESSORY INSTALLATION

INSTALLING SCOOTER ARMRESTS

• STEP 1: 
  Locate the red line on the arm­rest bar. This is the MAX width line that the armrest should be installed at. 
  *(Do not install the armrest with the red line visible out­side of the bracket opening)*
• STEP 2: 
  Insert the armrest into the bot­tom of the seat bracket. Adjust the width to your preference.

• STEP 3:
